About this award

This is a definitive cost-no-fee contract awarded by NASA's Goddard Space Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to provide research, development, analysis, and satellite laser ranging (SLR) operational support services for the Space Geodesy Network and Sensors Calibration Office. The contract supports laser ranging operations to artificial Earth satellites and maintenance/calibration of the McDonald Laser Ranging System (MLRS) located in Texas, which is part of the NASA SLR network. Services include data analysis, quality control, and participation in International Laser Ranging Service, International Earth Rotation Service, and Global Geodetic Observing System working groups. The contract has a ceiling value of $4,616,495.57 and a performance period through May 2, 2022. No set-aside designation is noted.

Description

Research, development, analysis, and satellite laser ranging (SLR) operational support services for the space geodesy network and sensors calibration office. This contract is for laser ranging operational support services for artificial earth satellites, and the maintenance and calibration of the mcdonald laser ranging system (MLRS) located on mcdonald observatory in fort davis, texas which is part of the NASA satellite laser ranging (SLR) network. These services are a continuation of the scientific and engineering mission operations support for the NASA SLR program. The services include operations of a satellite laser tracking station, data analysis, data assurance and quality control of MLRS data products in support of the international laser ranging service (ILRS), the international earth rotation services (IERS), and the global geodetic observing system (GGOS), as appropriate. This procurement is for the acquisition of services to support laser ranging operations to artificial earth- satellites, and the maintenance and calibration of the MLRS. MLRS is equipped to perform laser ranging to satellite and lunar targets. This procurement shall also provide for data analysis, data assurance and quality control of MLRS data products in support of the ILRS, IERS, and GGOS, as appropriate. These activities shall include updated geocenter time series estimates; evaluation of new and returning SLR stations as part of the normal acceptance testing; resolution of specific station coordinate problems; RE-examination of the SLR estimates of the earth's gravitational coefficient (GM) and the impact on scale within the international terrestrial reference frame (ITRF); precision orbit determination and verification; and participation in ILRS, IERS, and GGOS working group meetings.
